It's not all over yet (there are still options in Arlington, which is rather more cosmopolitan, that we are still awaiting replies from) but in the absence of some alternative which allows us to keep the price within 5-10% of this year it does seem attractive.
We could then take the opportunity to plan an East coast venue with a longer time frame, giving us more chance of meeting the community's parameters. Atlanta, Orlando and Boston have also been suggested. It will never be Orlando for me (sorry, I just can't bring myself to like the place as a conference venue, great as it may be for a family vacation). While the other two cities might be possibilities for future years I don't think they are any more likely to be practical for 2011 than Chicago or New York, and for much the same reasons. regards Steve -- DjangoCon US 2010 September 7-9 http://djangocon.us/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
